MAXON

MAXON has created a way for all users to be able to 'get into' 3D with their software by pursuing this route. Most notably, MAXON has created a community for educators and students at CINEVERSITY.com. There are also online communities such as c4d cafe, Spanish forum and CGTalk available. MAXON bundles HTML manuals and tutorials/videos with its software. New in release 10 are context sensitive help menus.

CINEMA 4D has been embraced by the Adobe After Effects community because of C4D's external compositing tags and object IDs which make exporting 3D data and separate alpha and depth information efficient and simple. Because the export feature also supports Apple's Final Cut Pro and other popular software, it fits well into several post production studio configurations.
